Mean Streets 1989 Adventure
The first game in the Tex Murphy series is a great sci-fi adventure with some (gasp) action elements. Technically, Mean Streets was very innovative game for its time, featuring 256 color VGA graphics, digitized PC speaker sounds, and even a well-coded flight simulator based on the engine used in Echelon. The game's strongest appeal is the very well-written plot that is full of many unexpected twists and turns. You play Tex Murphy, a PI who is trying to make a living in 21st century San Francisco. Your first case, brought by a beautiful, seductive Sylvia Linsky, is to investigate the purported...
Shade 2000 Adventure
Shade is a text adventure game set in a single room, the protagonist's dilapidated apartment, as you prepare for a visit to the Burning Man-alike Death Valley Om Festival in the desert. The closer you get to being prepared to leave to the airport, the more problems befall you -- mundane ones at first, such as thirst and misplaced airplane tickets, and then, grain upon grain, a whole sandbox of more surreal ones suggesting that, as in the movie Jacob's Ladder, not all is as it seems. With your only, inert, companions a revealing desert guidebook, a helpful task list and...

Wargame Construction Set 1986 Strategy
Wargame Construction Set is a fun little scenario editor and wargame. But though it's touted as recreating any battle from prehistory to the present day, it really should have been called the World War II Construction Set. No matter what period you set your battle in, it's curiously dominated by such foxhole-themed concepts as fortification, artillery and suppressing fire. Sure, there are Civil War, space and fantasy scenarios included, but it is disconcerting to find your elven archer "pinned down" by gunfire trench-warfare style, or that your wizard is really just an air support unit with a high number of...
Gemstones 3 1994 Arcade action
G-stones III is a shareware game Breakout variant. The game area consists of an arrangement of bricks at the top of the screen. The player controls a paddle which moves left / right along the bottom of the screen and must prevent a ball, or sometimes multiple balls, from touching the bottom of the screen. When the balls strikes the bricks on the screen they either destroy the brick or trigger some kind of feature such as releasing an extra ball, or a bonus item. Some bricks cannot be destroyed and others can be switched on or off as the...
Realms of The Haunting 1997 Adventure
Realms of the Haunting is a very interesting combination of first-person shooter and three-dimensional adventure game with quite a bit of live-action Full Motion Video thrown in to boot. Navigation through the game world is done through a FPS interface very similar to Doom, however there's also a free-floating cursor controlled by the mouse which you can use to interact with the various objects around you. There's also an inventory system and quite a few object related puzzles. The game has standard Doom-ish combat against a variety of monsters, however the combat is placed at intervals rather than throughout the game,...
Questprobe featuring The Hulk 1984 Adventure
The Hulk is a disappointing first instalment of the Questprobe series from Adventure International, which was produced in collaboration with Marvel Comics. Despite a 'Difficulty level: Moderate' tag on the box, the game is not only very easy, but easy in the most stupid way a game can get. The game starts with you, The Hulk's human alter ego Bruce Banner, tied to a chair. After an easy escape (well, at least easy for anyone who has read the comics), you learn that the goal if this game is to locate all the gems and find somewhere to store them....
Mystery of the Druids, The 2001 Adventure
The Mystery of the Druids' box cover is definitely a contender in the "worst design" category. A wide-eyed man in a hood stares at you with mouth wide-open and top teeth showing -- whether he's trying to scare you, is scared himself, or is preparing to floss, is unclear. The individual strands of his beard are raised in plastic, ensuring you have tactile knowledge of them. As first impressions go, it's bad. Luckily, the game is not nearly so silly. You play as Brent Halligan, an amiable but socially hopeless Scotland Yard detective. As the story begins, he's been assigned a...
Notrium 2003 Arcade action
Notrium is yet another excellent release from Ville Mönkkönen, Finnish programmer best known for The Forge and Bikez II, as well as several other superb freeware gems. In his own words: "Notrium is a realtime single player survival game. You have crashed on a strange planet filled with aliens, and your job is to get home alive. You find alien items on the planet surface which you can combine with others to make all sorts of useful gadgets and weapons. The game can be completed in several different ways, and it has a high replay value. Ever read the book...
